• Equium A200-1V0 does not start after recovery

  Hi all

  I have Toshiba Equium A200-1V0.

  I wanted to restore Vista back to the factory settings and used the recovery disc - everything seems to go well, selected 'no' on the disc Add on to the end, as I don't seem to have one. When you restart the laptop, it goes beyond the post screen, then darkness... nothing happens at all.

  Now, I thought that maybe there was a hardware problem, so I tested it using a copy of Windows XP I - installs fine, no problem. I noticed that the recovery partition "Winre" was 1.5 GB in size and 1.37 GB free. I guess that's complete, it contains a file called "boot.sdi" and the folder called 'sources' in the 'sources' folder there is a file called "boot.wim" and that's, I don't know if this is right.

  Whatever it is, I can't get the thing to work with the recovery disk (Vista Home Premium) and there seems to be no hardware issues that XP is fine.

  Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

  Danny

  Try to remove all partitions on the HARD disk and re-run recovery.

  You can use FDISK on a BACK (www.bootdisk.com) boot disk to delete partitions non-dos.

• "Disk Creator" and update firmware on Equium A200-1V0

  Please forgive me if I'm missing something really obvious, but I can't find even if I need to update the firmware of my DVD burner.

  The doc readme says to start "Toshiba Disk Writer", and then select Audio CD - that should give me information on the disks required to decide if the firmware update is needed. I don't see any creator of disc on my satellite and selecting Properties on my DVD burner tells me it's a RUG * A DVD-RAM UJ-850 s ATA Device.

  There is no link whatever it is cited in the update of the firmware, wherever it should be a feature of TSST Corp.

  I had a few firmware updates and am unable to see even if they are needed. Any advice would be much appeciated

  Hello

  The update of the firmware are still on the European driver Toshiba page.
  If you find any updates to the firmware on the Toshiba page for you laptop, then an update of the firmware is not necessary!

• Equium A200-1V0 using XP - recent conversion issues.

  * Hi, *.

  * I recently inherited my laptop the girls, he had vista installed on it. I'm not a big fan so decided to install xp. I found a great guide on the forum, see below, (the topic is now locked) *.

  The original guide:

  + How to install XP Home on the following Vista laptop. 05/01/08 +.
  + PSAF5E + Toshiba Equium A200-1V0

  + Introduction
  + Here are the measures taken by us to remove our Toshiba laptop Vista and replace it with XP Home. There may be inconsistencies in our methods and we cannot have all the correct drivers installed, but everything seems to work OK for us. +
  + Our laptop now runs much faster, opens and closes more quickly and is more stable. +

  + This isn't a 5 minute operation. It should not be attempted by anyone with only a knowledge of passage of computers because it is very easy to screw things. The shop you bought your PC against them will load a lot to fix things and they will probably insist reinstall Vista! +
  + Be prepared that this would also probably negate your warranty. +

  + Luckily, I have a 2nd PC under XP, which allows me to access the web. This is very useful because it means that when your Vista machine is "broken" you can always find help and download the driver files. I also used my 2nd PC to create the XP installation updated the CD discussed later. +
  + You must have access to the web via a PC or another to get the necessary drivers. +

  + Method +.
  + First, even if you have Vista on your laptop, download and run a program of interrogation as "Belarc advisor" that lists all the drivers and software installed on your laptop. Print it out for future reference. It will be useful later when searching on the web for all drivers that may require updating. +
  + Now, make sure that you noted on all the necessary settings for your Internet connection. +
  + Also, back up the files that you may have placed on the hard drive you will lose the lot, including emails and the address books and web bookmarks etc. +

  + Unfortunately, the Toshiba disk that comes with this laptop does not appear to have all the required drivers with it. Instead, I think it relies on Vista keeping copy on your hard drive. It's not very bright that when the disk fails, you have lost everything! +
  + This means to go on the web and the search of all the required drivers run the XP successfully. +
  + Some we have found, for example the wireless network adapter, however this was not a problem because once we had installed XP and connected to the Internet through an Ethernet cable to our router, we were able to run 'Update Driver' for each missing item. +
  + Go to "Device Manager" via "Control Panel" then "System" and then "hardware". Then look for any yellow question mark for all the problems. Right-click and run 'Update Driver' for the Hardware Update Wizard and allow the PC to search the web "this time only. +
  + The ones we made in this way were: wireless adapter, Audio adapter. +

  + Unfortunately an original CD of XP SP2 does not contain the required drivers for this laptop. Therefore, when you start the CD it will be, after a few minutes of installation of files, say you have a hardware problem, there is no hard drive. +
  + To remedy this, you will need to download the right drivers Intel ICH8M SATA AHCI Controller. I could not find on the website of Intel, but on the contrary searched on Google for him. and he got to: http://www.alphadownloads.com/downloads/download-hp-intel-sata-ahci-controller-driver-ver--d-3064.html+

  * After completing the installation, I found that I had no work wlan driver on my laptop. They are here (RTL8187B_WLAN_Adaptor), but with a big yellow question mark. I tried reinstalling them but it made no difference. I don't know why they don't will be will not installed properly.*

  * All went well and seem to work and all the familiar screens were there. I started using it and wanted to transfer some info from the laptop to my office. I copied the files on a disc using Ashampoo Burning Studio 7 and it seems to work, he went through the whole process without a hitch. When he had finished I checked the drive and it was empty he had no files on it at all. I tried several types/brands but the results (or lack of) is the same. The drive reads the discs will not drive write. Any ideas? *

  Thanks for reading this and I would appreciate any help/advice you may have.

  See you soon,.

  Hello

  This means that everything is working properly without WLAN connection and burning the discs?

  Well, are you sure that your laptop is equipped with RTL8187B WLAN card? Therefore, you can check the vendor and device ID in Device Manager.
  But for all the portable Toshiba, you can download the driver WLAN here:
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/WLAN/

  In addition, it would be interesting to know which drive you exactly used for the engraving process. I only use high-quality Verbatim and TDK media. I don t use Ashampoo or Nero, I use CD Burner XP because it the freeware tool and I can do anything I want with this program.

• Equium A200-1V0 - how to use the Toshiba Recovery CD product?

  I used the reinstall xp on desktop before but do not need to do a reinstall on your laptop (toshiba) with vista with their product recovery disc. With vista, I had to find my own drivers etc. after the OS is installed on a clean drive.

  I want to clean the disc by using a product of drive wipe as Dariks boot and nuke (used on office/xp computers some time and as a very clean before you reinstall drive) on my laptop Toshiba Equium A200-1V0 before inserting the product recovery cd.

  Questions-
  (1) is it ok to erase drive with DBAN - this usually effect the ability of the recovery CD to do its job?
  (2) how can I use the product recovery cd or it is free it is exposed just charge, boot from the cd and follow the instructions online?
  (3) it will return the laptop to the factory shipping status (i.e. don't have no need to look for the drivers, etc.)?

  Thank you very much for your help - just need to be reassured that have not is it a wipe and reinstall on your laptop and vista with a "recovery disc" (always a disc not specify that it is a full copy of the operating system

  James

  Hello James

  The recovery procedure everything is very simple and here are the answers to your questions:

  # You should not do. Before installing recovery starts the disk HARD integer will be automatically formatted, created new partitions and OS will be installed on the first
  # Start Notepad and press F12 repeatedly to enter the boot menu. When the menu is displayed a recovery media in the optical disc drive. In the menu choose the CD/DVD drive and press ENTER. Follow the meny on the screen. After that two or three click OK installation will be implemented.
  # Yes

  When the installation is complete just start computer laptop again and wait until the operating system will be prepared for the first start. It is not necessary to install any additional software.

• Re: Equium A200-1V0: Vista won't load - system restore does not

  Toshiba Equium A200-1V0, purchased January ' 08
  Vista Home Premium

  Upgrade office 2007, rebooted fine, saved all the files. I went looking for vista security updates & Office including. Net3.0 - pc crashed during installation. F8 to repair pc & system restore to front office installed. everything seemed well & rebooted ok so I have backed up all critical files.

  reinstalled office 2007 & vista hanging on the required reboot.

  Try to load in safe mode & vista hangs at crcdisk.sys. It was suggested to remove all pcmcia & 1394 drivers, but the switches/s/p do not work in command prompt so I can't be sure enough to find them all to delete or rename.

  F8 for pc repair & while the menu appears, it is very slow to get there.
  Startup Repair detects no problem, System Restore won't work, so assuming that restore lost points (there were a few elders before the one I went to). Command prompt will run.

  Toshiba has provided a system restore disc, but crashes after language selection. It was suggested that the disk was duff, so I downloaded the ISO to a disk of vista without the extras toshiba restore & that said it is loading & then sits right on the blue/green screen of vista.

  I have a basic family official OEM of Vista editing copy for a new machine, I do build, so tried to boot from a full installation of windows (without formatitng) - this also hangs on the blue/green screen of vista. This is my first to face with a laptop without a correct installation disc, so if I format & reinstall the will I lose the recovery partition?

  Any other ideas of what to try?

  Hello

  I think that it s nothing wrong with the software, but with the hardware
  If the reinstallation of Vista is not possible then this could be caused by a hardware problem
  I can only suggest on the malfunction of HARD, RAM disk. Everything is possible

  If I you would be then I would format the whole HARD drive I would be to delete all partitions and would try to reinstall the operating system from the recovery CD

  If it is not possible, then you should ask the ASP in your country for a control from laptop s!

  Good luck

• Equium A200-1V0 - SMART failed on start

  Hello

  I bought an Equium A200-1V0 just for more than a year. My problem is that he went really slow and really fast heat-up to the top.

  Now ever time I switch on a message appears
  "SMART failure provided on hard disk 2: Toshiba mk1237gsx-(s1).
  WARNING immediately back up your data and replace your hard disc.a failure may be imminent. »

  The laptop does not load on normal mode. There on the days just to check if it does load eventually but no result.
  All the world has experienced the same problem and found a solution?
  What I need to replace the hard drive or the problem to solve if some how to recover the laptop (I only ask because I read on another forum, he worked)
  Also, I have not received a recovery with the portable disk where I get that from?

  Any help is appreciated thank you!

  Hello

  SMART failure says it all! You need to replace the HARD drive permanently and that is also the reason why the laptop doesn't start in normal mode. Your HARD drive is defective and must be replaced!

  Reinstallation of the operating system using the Toshiba Recovery disk doesn't solve this problem. A failed HARD drive has nothing to do with the OS and software.
  Also if you have Vista you can create a recovery disc yourself. Normally on the first boot, you get a message that you should burn this disc using the Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator.
  If you didn t it yet you can order a Toshiba recovery disc directly:

  Hey,.

  There are several laptops Toshiba with 15 screen I think that the important point is the price because other requirements such as 2 GB RAM, 200 GB, etc are no problem. Most laptop have 4GB or more of RAM and also tough with more disk space.
  Moreover the Intel Core i3 processor is standard CPU at the moment, some models have a Core i5

  Take a look at Satellite C650, L650 and L750. These models are to fundamental factors such as Internet, music, videos and simple games.

  You can compare all models on the official page of Toshiba:

• Equium A200-1V0 - recovery on the new HARD drive problem

  Hello

  Hoping someone can help, I just mounted a new Toshiba 1 TB hard drive for my Equium A200-1V0, used the Vista came with the computer recovery disk, everything seems to be installed ok, but when you try to start, I get a message saying that Windows Vista is unable to run on this hardware. Any suggestion is appreciated.

  Thank you

  There must be a compatibility problem. Usually the hard drives up to 500 GB are not problematic for the old machines.
  If possible, try to install the version of the OS. When you can get Win7 32 bit would be great. Win7 32-bit is supported for your machine and in my view, it will work perfectly.

  Hello

  Don t think you will be able to create an own Toshiba Recovery CD.
  In the document of Toshiba, you can see this info:

  Only templates that come with it "Toshiba HDD Recovery Utility" (ie: Tecra A2)

  It seems that the Equium A200 was already delivered with the Toshiba Recovery CD and you have no need to create a new.
  The procedure described above applies to the Toshiba laptop computer which were delivered without the recovery CD

  Best regards and happy new year ;)

• Equium A200-1V0 - freezes after plug power supply AC?

  Hi all

  I'm trying to find the solution of the problem:

  My laptop Equium A200 1V0 freezes as soon as I plug the power running. I tried the new battery and new AC adapter after reading some solutions of the internet but so far without success. It works fine without the plug'in ac, but as soon as I join to food it freezes and I have to force the shutdown of the machine which is not good.

  I would be very grateful if someone can give me please the solution in detail the problem mentioned above and also let me know the cause of this disorder as well?

  Thanks for reading this thread and for your efforts.

  Kind regards

  Hey,.

  You use an AC/DC to original Toshiba adapter? In my view the problem must be related to AC/DC adapter or the motherboard itself

  Important is that you use Toshiba parts only to test with an AC/DC to original Toshiba adapter. If it doesn't work, it seems that the motherboard is faulty. These serious physical issues can only be set to an authorized service then you should contact the guy and ask for help. ;)
